Disclaimer: The characters of Supernatural do not belong to me. The original character of Evelyn Winchester does.
A/N: Yes, I know I'm still working on The Things Unseen (Make the Soul Ache)-The In-Between and Citizen Winchester. I promise I am still working on them both. But this story has been in my head for a long while, so I finally sketched it out last night and started it. The first chapter isn't very long, but everything gets explained as it moves on.
2010: To Be or Not to Be?
"You rocked out there, baby girl!"
"You know, complimenting me on my hunting is kind of undermined when you call me baby girl." Evy commented.
Before Dean could respond, Bobby came out of the house. "You idjits get in here."
"Nice to see you too." Evy commented.
"Get in the house."
"Bobby?" Evy asked, concerned that he wasn't pressing her for details about the hunt he'd sent them on two days earlier. "What's wrong?"
Sam and Dean finally noticed Bobby's grim look too. "Bobby?" Sam asked, duffle still hung over his shoulder.
"There's a guy in the living room looking for you."
"A guy?" Evy asked. "Can you be a little more specific?"
"Just go see him. He said you'd know him when you saw him."
"Bobby? You're being weird." Evy said.
"Just go. Sam, Dean, go with her."
Evy turned to her brothers, shrugged, and walked inside. Sam, Dean, and Bobby followed close behind. Sam and Dean nearly crashed into Evy in the entranceway leading to the living room. She had stopped cold, and was staring at the stranger standing next to Bobby's desk. He looked oddly familiar, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was a little shorter than Sam, and smiled at Evy as if he knew her.
"Peter?" Evy whispered. "Is that you?"
"Not quite." The stranger answered. "Close, but not quite."
Evy's eyes glistened with tears as she came to a realization. "Connor?"
The stranger smiled wider and nodded.
"Cricket? Do you know him? Who is this?"
"He's…" Evy swallowed, trying to stop herself from shaking. She put a hand to the wall to support herself. "He's my son."
